ED New Robert
I have noticed that there has not been much talk about him so what are your opinions?
I know Karl Davis was very popular and the new actor has huge shoes to fill but I think he looks like the original Robert and he has been pretty good so far. |

Smirky Smirky Robert Smirkden?
He smirks a lot. And he's a vile little prick. I don't know what to make of him, really. Am I supposed to think he's got any redeeming features? He seems a bit awkward on screen - all that staring out at the camera rather than the person he's supposed to be speaking to. And I didn't get any connection with Victoria or Diane. Maybe he'll relax into it, but at the moment he just seems eminently smackable. |

He didn't share scenes with Jack and there is no connection with Andy, Victoria and Diane. It's like he's an impostor or something. |

Too much time spent trying to find someone who looks a bit like Old Robert I think, instead of someone who can act the part. Plus the way he's been written is horrible - the way he spoke to Katie was revolting. Sort it out, Emmerdale. Which is my motto at the moment. |

I love Karl Davis and he's been one to watch over the past few years - he was great in Happy Valley, for example. Due to this, I'm happy to accept new Robert and think he's quite good so far. We'll still learning about his new family set up so will take a bit of getting used to anyway.

Snobbert Smugden
Eminently punchable. Just comes across as another arrogant prick from Home farm to me - don't see much Sugden about him at all. |

Why did people like Karl Davies so much? I didn't rate his acting to be honest. Quite a bland actor really. This Robert seems to have potential though. He's better looking than Karl in my opinion. Not that looks matter. Although often it does!

If the actor is supposed to be making me want to punch Robert's smug face then job well done to him..
I just want to knock his and Andy's heads together every time I see them in a scene together.

I don't think I'll ever like a character that's been recast - they could write amazingly for it and throw the best stories ever at it, and I'll still sit here, being stubborn, thinking "but it isn't the real Robert, though!"
I find it really hard to accept. All these years, I've put up with wacky, over the top storylines with many not making much sense at all whilst some have been downright farcical... yet, I'll take them all over a recast any day - I hate them; so, I'm sorry, Robert, but I won't ever take you seriously again and I'm already waiting for the day you leave... |

Not a fan. I'm not totally anti recast, it depends on various factors, but I'm not thrilled with this one. Nothing against the actor, it's just that Karl Davies was so well established. It feels sort of silly to me, like why are Andy and Katie pretending this new guy is Robert? NewRobert also seems much more like Nathan Wylde as a character than Robert, so that doesn't help. I think he shares some mannerisms with the Nathan actor too, and bears a slight resemblance.
With some roles it's easy enough to accept a recast, like Ben Mitchell. Neither previous Ben actor seemed a good fit to me or were in EE for that long, so I don't object to Harry Reid's casting. I think he works a lot better than the others so I'm in favour of him. He seems like he actually is Ben. It's just not like that for me with Robert, he seems like an imposter. |
